It creates a man-sized (5 feet) to gargantuan-sized (21 feet) hand but appears in grassy creature doesn’t it by the caster, regardless of what the spellcaster does or how the opponent tries to escape it. The grasping hand can hold motionless a creature or object of up to 1,000 pounds weight, slow movement to 10 feet  per round if the creature weighs between 1,000 and 4,000 pounds, or slow movement by 50% if the creature ways up to 16,000 pounds.
